Sounds like Marleau could be going to Dallas
Interesting
They've made some good moves
I see them back in the playoffs this year
5 teams from the Central
Unless Chicago falls apart

That's my point. Gerbe is saying he can "keep up". I know he loves the Sharks, but Marleau isn't the player he used to be. If he was he'd already be signed back with the Sharks. And he wouldn't have been stripped of his "C" and then his "A". He scored 24 less points last year than he did 3 years ago. People talk about him like he's some mythical creature. He's going to be 38 when this season starts. His stats have been in free fall for a few years, coming to a team that can't score goals what do you think that would do to his stats?

1) he is still a very good skater
2) there's no way he comes here anyways
3) blah blah blah

It was the injury
Had nothing to do with "Buffalo"

Where'd he sign?
I wouldn't be surprised if he has a good season

You're probably right on 2...but he's just in a combative mood.

Meh

Unless we can trade for a partner for Risto,
is there anyone else we could sign that would be an upgrade?

I doubt he'd make the roster
He could use a season in the AHL
College to NHL is a tough leap for defensemen
Especially small ones

Nobody down with Jags? Too slow to play with Jack? I'd consider it. Jack will come down and take the D with him. Jags will be wide open in the slot 10 seconds later.

I see the similarities

Daley signed with Detroit...
wtf was he thinking?
Enjoy your 3 years of not being in the playoffs dumbass

Winnipeg should have a nice defense

Byfuglien, Enstrom, Trouba, Myers, Kulikov & Morrissey all there

I wouldn't hate it
If even a tiny bit of his work ethic rubs off on the kids it would be worth it

I was at the Florida game last year and he was absolutely brutal. Sure, he is still a wizard in front of the net but he was killing them all over the rest of the ice.

Its crazy that he works out at 1am everyday

I'm sure will give him a key to the Arena if he signs

I watched all of his goals from the past year yesterday. He didn't have any goals off the rush, and that's a requirement for playing with jack
